Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) -- China will this year implement a
quota-based system for provinces and cities that dictates the
amount of renewable energy that they need to consume, buy into
their grid and produce, the China News Service reported, citing
Ren Dongming, director of the renewable energy development
center of the National Development and Reform Commission.

The policy is to spur the consumption of alternative
energy, the agency said, citing Ren.
